I'm looking forward to seeing answers to this one myself, as I've experimented with several styles/structures and I'm not 100% content with any of them. In the spirit of sharing, here's the structure I've evolved:

#root (primary executable scripts)
apache_root/projectname

# project maintenance scripts
apache_root/projectname/scripts<sup>1</sup>

# modules
apache_root/projectname/lib

# Archives (place where maintenance scripts 
# pput backup .tgz's)
apache_root/projectname/dist

[download]

Looking at projects via CVS is a good way to see how other's do it, though I do not see any standard pattern accross various projects emerging.

1 I reccommend NEVER to use a 'bin' directory in your projects lest a hasty script or typo waste your systems /bin (Not that I've learned that the hard way ;)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
